Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes
Chapter 19 Beetles
Tomb robbery is not a child's play, and it also has to talk about scientific demonstrations, not to mention the fraudulent corpses on TV, where rice dumplings are jumping all over the ground, and corpses are crawling everywhere.
Over thousands of years, most of the bones would have rotted into dregs.
Going down the tomb passage along the empowerment, Sister Yu swung her headlamp back and forth, observing some details that we might have overlooked.
If not to mention that everyone in the tomb robber world said Master Yao was a bull, it was not easy to just look at this woman, Yao Yumen. When she walked to the end of the tomb passage and looked at the stone wall for a while, she discovered another problem.
"Look, look here," she squatted at the northwest corner of the stone wall and turned her head to greet us.
"Yumen, is this handwriting?" Yao Wence, who hadn't talked much before, said at this time.
I squatted down curiously to have a look.
I saw a part of the stone peel off where sister Yu pointed. After the water under the pit receded, some mud dried up on the corner of the wall. I vaguely saw it as handwriting.
She took a bottle of water from her bag and poured a little on the wall.
The stone wall absorbs water quickly, and after wiping it back and forth with hands, a piece of handwriting carved with a knife slowly appeared.
"This... this is the ancient bronze script... nine stacks of seal characters!" Boss Sun exclaimed when he saw the handwriting clearly.
Sister Yu frowned: "Curious tomb, as far as I know, this kind of writing has been discontinued in the late Shang Dynasty. How could it be used in the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
We splashed water again.
Then we discovered that the entire stone wall was well-proportioned, and all of them were engraved with nine folds of seal characters in ancient bronze inscriptions!
Everyone was startled, and Boss Sun immediately raised a guess. He asked, could this be the epitaph of the owner of the tomb?
"That's right, could it be the epitaph?" The third child also echoed.
After being shocked, Sister Yu shook her head and said, "It's unlikely. Epitaphs haven't become popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Have you ever thought that this wall...may be a door?"
"Door? What do you mean?" I couldn't understand.
Sister Yu took out a bright flashlight from her bag, and she touched the stone wall, inch by inch.
Seeing this, the rest of us also helped to touch it.
After looking for it for a long time, I touched this stone wall several times, up and down, left and right, and found nothing except those nine-fold scripts that I couldn't understand...
Boss Sun said coldly, "Third brother, is there a detonator in the bag?"
"Brother, I brought four."
"Put the eye on, and blow it up for me." A cold light flashed in Boss Sun's eyes.
"You guys are crazy!" Sister Yu got up to stop her and said, "It's fine to use explosives to open the initiation, but this is in the tomb! Do you want to bury us all alive!"
"Then what do you think?" Sun Laosan remained calm.
"Let's look around. If it's really a stone gate, the artisans of the Western Zhou Dynasty should have placed natural stones when they sealed the door. There must be a hidden compartment left by the artisans around here, otherwise, they would have to lock themselves in it. "
"Yu... Sister Yu." I raised my hand to speak.
Several people turned to look at me.
Taking a deep breath, I pointed to the west and said, "Sister Yu, there is a big pottery vat in the corner of the west ear room, and there is a black hole under the big vat, which seems to be very deep."
"Go, go and have a look," she nodded and walked directly to the west ear room.
When he arrived at the west ear room and saw the large vat, Boss Sun walked over and pushed away the bluestone slab covering the vat.
Seeing the black hole at the bottom of the tank, he turned to me and asked, "Yunfeng, how do you know?"
Looking at the black hole, I said with lingering fear: "Brother, you don't know. I took out a dead bone from the bottom. The smell was still there that day. I don't know what happened today. It's gone."
"Also, big brother, there is a biting Corpse Horn Immortal down here, so don't reach in and touch it!"
Sun Laosan asked suspiciously: "What? Corpse Horn Immortal? That thing, isn't it a snake that bit your hand?"
"No, no, no," I shook my head like a rattle.
"It's definitely not a snake anyway, I can feel it."
"Xiao Yunfeng, are you talking about... a beetle with a white tentacles on its head? It looks like a big unicorn?" Sister Yu gave me a cold face.
I didn't see this thing that night, but Granny Liu told me that she said that the Corpse Horn Fairy has white tentacles, isn't that exactly what she said.
I thought about it and said, maybe it is.
Seeing me nodding, Sister Yu and Yao Wence's complexions turned pale immediately, which became obvious.
"What's wrong, Miss Yao?" Sun Laosan asked her.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at me and said: "You can call that thing a corpse horn fairy. I heard from my uncle that the lifespan of that thing is only two or three months, and it can only survive by eating carrion. A very rare burrowing poisonous insect."
"This can only explain one thing," she said, pointing at the pottery jar with a frosty face: "90.00% of the people below are dead, and the death time must not exceed three months."
"Get out of the way," Yao Wence took out an iron rod with a casing from his bag. This rod is not long and has eyes on it, and I don't know what it is for.
I saw him holding the end of the stick and poking it towards the bottom of the tank.
After more than three minutes, just like fishing, he carefully retrieved the stick.
The head of the stick actually brought two large flat beetles!
Several people were startled, because the beetle looked strange, and no one had seen it before, so they didn't know what it was.
These two flat beetles have a lot of legs, comparable to those of centipedes. In addition to the mouthparts, there is a white antennae about one centimeter long on the beetle's head, which is similar to the old man's white beard. The whole appearance is ugly and strange. .
"Be careful, don't get bitten, this thing is poisonous," Sister Yu reminded.
Yao Wencai, a man with a flat head, flicked his stick and stepped on it.
The two beetles were trampled and exploded, and some yellow-green juice burst out, which smelled bad.
Sun Laosan swallowed and said, "What's next, are we going to drill down here?"
The diameter of the cylinder is very large. I checked it visually. As long as it is not that kind of big fat man, men and women of normal size should be able to drill in. I wondered if the second brother himself drilled in?
"Drill? Are you dying? This beetle is poisonous, and I don't know how many are there, go down and die?" Sister Yu shook her head and mocked Sun Laosan.
Sun Laosan might be a little angry, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Oh, Miss Yao, what advice do you have?"
Sister Yu snorted coldly and said: "That's right, I took the money from the king, but my brother and I were able to come because of my uncle's face. I came to help find someone, not here I risked my life with you."
"This hole, if you want to go down, we brothers and sisters will definitely not go down."
"Don't tell me, it was fine just now, why did you suddenly quarrel?" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, I rushed out to dissuade them.
"How about...how about we light a fire? Try to see if we can burn all these ugly bugs to death?" I made a suggestion.
That evening.
A strange scene appeared on the halfway up Moth Mountain.
I don't know whose ancestral grave is smoking.
Over thousands of years, most of the bones would have rotted into dregs.
Going down the tomb passage along the empowerment, Sister Yu swung her headlamp back and forth, observing some details that we might have overlooked.
